My hypothetical was about managers who weren't slaves to the pitch count, Bru. Which yes, excludes Aaron Boone-head, but also his disciple, Moron Mendoza, and in this case, AJ Hinch, and for all I know, all 30 current managers.
Perhaps the last example of managers judging on performance rather than ptich count came back in 2012 when Terry Collins let Johan Santana throw 135 pitches to complete the only true no-hitter in Mets history; I don't know.
But if the night Mike Baxter hit the wall is the dividing line between sanity and robotics, I know which side of that line I prefer.
